A Weekend with Integrative Nutrition: IIN Live

03/05/13

IIN Live Joshua Rosenthal Where I Need to Be

Four years ago to the date, I sat in a corporate cubicle feeling stifled, uninspired and unhappy. I dreamed of something more fulfilling but until I found IIN and enrolled, I didn’t know what I could do to transform my passion for health and wellness into a career. Barely able to voice my opinion on a conference call or in a meeting, I never dreamed I could find my voice as a wellness coach.

When I finally left my corporate job last summer, I let go of fear and fully embraced my place in this world.

As an Integrative Nutrition graduate, I look forward to IIN’s live Spring conference every year. Each conference seems to outdo the last and this year’s topped all others.

It was special for me because I had a place on stage and the opportunity to speak to thousands of people, the biggest audience I’ve ever had.

IIN Live on stage Where I Need to Be

I literally never, ever imagined this would be me.

Listening to the weekend’s highly sought after speakers like Danielle LaPorte, Candice Kumai, Gabrielle Bernstein, Fabienne Frederickson and Dr. Frank Lipman, I thought about what the past four years have brought and two themes resonated:

1. Authenticity

2. Hard Work

IIN Live Danielle LaPorte Where I Need to Be

Authenticity

I tend more toward introversion, but spent most of my life being ashamed of it. I’m from a family of extroverts and the job I had certainly required a more extroverted type. At IIN I finally recognized this trait in myself and learned to accept and embrace it. Expressing myself through my business and brand has not only been a creative exercise but the ultimate expression of self love.

“You will never fully know just how you are here to be of service just by being who you are.” — Fabienne Fredrickson

When I get a note of of gratitude from clients and non-clients, it’s more fulfilling to me than any raise or praise I’ve ever received in a corporate job.

This is how I know I’ve found my calling.

Hard Work

“You have to want what you want with all of you.” — Danielle LaPorte

This journey – especially the past eight months since leaving the corporate world, hasn’t been without hard work. A lot of it. Most days I work longer hours than I ever have, but it doesn’t feel like work. It’s passion. It’s in my heart. And my soul. I do it because I love it. And because I want to have an impact more than anything else in the world.

“When you’re interested you do what’s convenient. When you’re committed, you do whatever it takes.” — Fabienne Fredrickson 

But it’s not all serious. There were dance parties, jokes galore and the adorable Candice Kumai who knows how to make eating healthy fun and sexy.

IIN’s live conferences have given me more opportunities than I ever thought I’d have from speaking to traveling to meeting new friends and forging deeper relationships with old friends. Every year, I leave inspired, armed with the latest and greatest nutrition information and ready to take my business to a new level.

I can’t count the number of emails I’ve received lately from women and men with stories like mine who want to transform their lives and use them to inspire health and happiness in the world.

If you’re ready to enroll at IIN and you do so by Friday, March 8, you’ll receive exclusive access to a rare, live info session with IIN speaker, nutrition expert and raw food enthusiast, David Wolfe. On this call, David will share: 

  • his personal story of how food transformed his life
  • the value of eating living food 
  • why nutrition is the core of holistic health 

At last year’s live conference, David made a superfood smoothie on stage. Watch this video to see what you’re in for:

How I Turned My Passion Into a Business: Next Generation.TV

I say this ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 TIME - the we I say this ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 TIME - the weekend is 43% percent of your week!

How many times have you started a program or created new habits and stuck with them during the week, but then totally flew off the rails come the weekend? 

That was always me. I’d feel like every Monday I was “starting over” or “getting back on track” after every vacation. I absolutely hated that feeling. 

Because the weekend is such a large chunk of the week, being in that cycle didn’t feel good to me. When I found TRIM, I was ready to make healthy living an actual LIFESTYLE that I could maintain anytime, anywhere, and still enjoy cocktails without the guilt. 

I found that TRIM made it easy to do that. Did I still need to make some sacrifices and be disciplined? Of course you always will when you have goals to reach. 

These tips are what I share with my clients to keep nutrition balanced on the weekends so they can still live their life but not set themselves back on reaching their goals. 

My next round for TRIM starts on June 5. This is my last round until August.

Calories and carbs can seem scary. If you’ve b Calories and carbs can seem scary. 

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ve probably heard me say it before, but I’ll say it again: Eating fewer calories and fewer carbs is not the recipe for weight loss. 

In TRIM, we calorie cycle and carb cycle. 

This means we eat fewer calories on some days and more, or regular, calories on others. For carb cycling, we do two back-to-back low carb days. 

We pair our lower calorie days with rest days and our low carb days with HIIT workouts. 

Mot days, we’re eating in the “more” range for calories and carbs and that can be difficult for women who are used to restricting one or the other – or both! 

Your body needs carbs and calories for your metabolism to fire, muscles to build and to fuel your body for daily activity. 

Limiting one or both to see a quick and short-term drop in weight (and it WILL be just that – quick and temporary), will damage your metabolism making it harder to lose weight in the future. It can also affect your thyroid and adrenal function. 

To see lasting results, you have to fuel your body. 

That’s why in TRIM we CALORIE CYCLE and CARB CYCLE so your body gets the fuel it needs. 

Calorie Cycling keeps you in a caloric deficit and Carb Cycling depletes your body of glycogen. Both can help with weight loss. 

Ready to give this a try and finally make long term changes?

Why is TRIM 49 days (7 weeks) long? Studies show Why is TRIM 49 days (7 weeks) long?

Studies show it takes anywhere from 21 to 66 days to form a habit.

The key is consistency. When you repeat the same behavior, it becomes more automatic and ingrained in your daily routine. 

In TRIM, I keep the schedule the same for my clients…the same daily tasks….and daily accountability to make sure you form not just a habit, but a lifestyle. 

I know it’s important to set realistic goals and start small, so we focus on one habit at a time. 

I help you celebrate your progress along the way and to keep perspective if and when you slip up. And when you do, I help you get back on track and keep pushing forward.

We start June 5 and there will be no July round. Go to the link in my bio or trimbootcamp.com/marissa-mcfarland to sign up!
